(See e.g., Chaplin, the worldwide web atlsbu.ac.uk/water; Ivanov et al., Russian J. Gen. Chem. vol. 75, pp.1851-1856 (2005), each of which is incorporated herein by reference).

Hydrogen oxide (water) has many frozen phases (ices), includingcrystalline and non-crystalline phases. The crystalline phases generallyhave the common structure of having hydrogen bonds to four neighboringwater molecules, such as two hydrogen atoms near each oxygen atom.Structural data on the known frozen hydrogen oxide polymorphs are shownin Table I, with two known phases of ice XI. (See, e.g., Chaplin, Ibid;and Zheligovskaya, et al., Russian Chem. Rev. 75, pp. 57-76, 2006, eachof which is incorporated herein by reference).

Cooling liquid hydrogen oxide below its standard freezing pointtypically results in the formation of frozen hexagonal ice. However, ifthe hydrogen oxide is pure and cooled slowly, the liquid hydrogen oxidecan be supercooled to approximately −42° C. Amorphous solids hardenwithout crystallizing, such that if hydrogen oxide is cooled rapidly itresults in formation of a glass-like state, for example, hyperquenchedglassy water. (See e.g., Debenedetti, J. Phys. Condens. Matter, vol. 15,pp. R1669-R1726 (2003), and as cited by Chaplin, worldwideweb atlsbu.ac.uk/water; each of which is incorporated herein by reference.)Generally, hyperquenched glassy water is formed by rapidly spraying afine mist of micrometer-sized hydrogen oxide droplets into very coldliquefied gas, such as propane. Alternatively, a fine mist of hydrogenoxide can be sprayed onto a very cold frozen cell or tissue, forexample, at or below approximately −193° C. Hyperquenched glassy watermay also be formed by cooling capillary tubes containing bulk liquidwater (˜100 μm diameter) with liquid helium, for example, atapproximately −269° C.

As shown in FIGS. 1-4, hydrogen oxide attains various structures andphases depending upon the temperature or pressure of the environment. Asindicated in FIG. 1, for example, hydrogen oxide ice Ic is derived fromhigh density amorphous water or deeply supercooled liquid water, whenput under low temperature or higher pressure. Likewise, as indicated inFIG. 2, the hydrogen oxide has a greater density as a liquid than as asolid under ambient conditions (ice Ih). However, at increasingpressure, at least ice stages III, V, VI, and VII exhibit a greaterdensity than liquid hydrogen oxide. FIG. 3 indicates the phase diagramfor hydrogen oxide based on pressure and temperature variance, whileFIG. 4 shows the specific sub-categories of hydrogen oxide based onphysical properties, such as structure and density, among others, as thetemperature and pressure vary.

Similarly, amorphous solid water is formed from the slow deposition ofhydrogen oxide vapor on a cold metal crystal surface (for example, atless than approximately 2 nm/s), below the temperature of approximately−153° C. Amorphous solid water is a viscous semi-solid material that hasa density of approximately 0.94 g/cm³ and harbors gaps and spaces in itsstructure, as well as reactive hydrogen bonds. These structures areremoved by annealing under vacuum pressure, which allows the material toconvert to a high density glassy water or low density amorphous ice,depending on the temperature. Typically, high density glassy water,which has a density of approximately 1.1 g/cm³, is formed by vapordeposition at approximately −263° C.

Low-density amorphous (LDA) ice also occurs from heating high-densityamorphous (HDA) ice to just above approximately −153° C. at atmosphericpressure, and transforms to cubic ice at approximately −113° C. to −123°C. Low-density amorphous ice is also prepared by submitting low-pressurephases (Ih, Ic, XI, etc.) to high pressure (e.g., approximately 1.0 GPa)at low temperatures (e.g., below approximately −148° C.).

Very-high density amorphous (VHDA) ice is a viscous water state with adensity of approximately 1.25 g/cm³, and is prepared by heatinghigh-density amorphous ice to just above approximately −113° C. andapproximate pressure of 1.15 GPa. When very-high density amorphous iceis heated at different pressures between, e.g., 0.3 and 2 GPa, itre-crystallizes into only the proton disordered ices III, IV, V, XII, VIand VII in order of increasing pressure, but does not typicallyre-crystallize into the proton ordered phases (e.g., ice II).

Typically, the density of liquid water increases with increasedpressure. When liquid water approaches the critical point in theliquid-vapor phase, water enters a supercritical phase where it existsas small but liquid-like hydrogen-bonded clusters dispersed within agas-like phase and its physical properties vary according to changingdensity. Supercritical water is an excellent solvent for non-polarmolecules, due to its low dielectric constant and poor hydrogen bonding.Due to these same properties, supercritical water is typically not agood solvent for electrolytes, which tend to form ionic bonds.

As indicated in FIG. 2, hexagonal ice is less dense than liquid water,whereas the other ice phases are all denser and phase changes occur nearthe liquid and solid densities (See e.g., Loerting et al., J. Phys.Condens. Matter vol. 18, R919-R977 (2006), which is incorporated hereinby reference). Liquid water density varies with change in temperature orpressure, whereas the density of amorphous ice varies only with changein pressure, but not temperature.

Hydrogen oxide has a high heat of vaporization (approximately 40.7kJ/mol), and a high heat of sublimation (approximately 51.059 kJ/mol at0° C.), which allows for the frozen particle compositions to remainintact for a short time period during which the particles are deliveredto one or more cells or tissues. These properties further enable thefrozen particle compositions to serve as particles for delivery of atleast one therapeutic composition to one or more cells or tissues.

Frozen particle compositions may include a “solid,” such as true solids,semi-solids, and viscous fluid, such as gels, hydrogels, or sols. Frozenparticle compositions including one or more frozen particles may includeparticles that are at least partially frozen, or are entirely frozen.Frozen particle compositions including one or more frozen particles mayinclude one or more subset groups of one or more particles, some ofwhich are entirely frozen and some of which are at least partiallyfrozen. Such frozen particle compositions may include multiple differentconstitutions, wherein a group of frozen particle compositions includesat least one subset of multiple frozen particles, wherein each frozenparticle has an individual therapeutic agent, adhesive agent, biologicalremodeling agent, abrasive, explosive material, reinforcement agent,other agent, a common constitution, or unique constitution. The group offrozen particle compositions may also include at least one subset ofmultiple frozen particles, wherein each frozen particle includesmultiple agents.

A particular plurality of frozen particle compositions may includemultiple frozen particles where various multiple agents are associatedwith a single particle. Likewise, a particular plurality of frozenparticle compositions may include various multiple agents, where eachindividual agent is associated with a single frozen particle. In oneembodiment, a plurality of frozen particle compositions includes anynumber of subsets of frozen particles associated with a particularagent, or other constituent. During the course of any particular methoddescribed herein, one or more plurality of frozen particle compositions,or any particular subset thereof, can be administered in a singletreatment or in multiple treatments. A frozen particle compositionincluding at least one therapeutic agent may be referred to as a“therapeutic composition” or “frozen particle therapeutic composition”herein.

In certain instances, the one or more frozen particle compositions areutilized at a very low temperature, which may increase the degree ofpenetration of the one or more particles or the one or more compositionsfor a biological tissue. In certain instances, the one or more frozenparticle compositions are utilized at higher temperatures, depending onthe freezing temperature of the constituents of the one or moreparticles, the goals of administration or treatment, or other factors.For example, the freezing point of nitrogen is approximately −210° C.,whereas the freezing point of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is approximately18.45° C. In one embodiment, the one or more frozen particlecompositions are utilized at room temperature, or physiologicaltemperature.

Hydrogen oxide becomes more viscous as the temperature is decreased tobelow approximately 33° C., or the pressure is increased. Ice Ic isgenerally formed by condensation of water vapor, at ambient pressure andlow temperatures (less than approximately −80° C.), or belowapproximately −38° C. as a mist. (See e.g., Murray et al., Phys. Chem.Chem. Phys. Vol. 8, pp. 186-192 (2006), which is incorporated herein byreference). Ice Ic is also prepared by reducing the pressure onhigh-pressure hydrogen oxide ice at approximately −196° C. It can be thepreferred phase for ice formed from hydrogen oxide droplets smaller thanabout 15 nm in radius, particularly at low temperatures (e.g., −113° C.to −53° C.). (See e.g., Johari, J. Chem. Phys. vol. 122 pp. 194504(2005); Zhang, et al., Chem. Phys. Lett. vol. 421, pp. 251-255 (2006),each of which is incorporated herein by reference).

Ice Ih constitutes a large portion of naturally-occurring snow and ice.Since hexagonal ice exhibits changes in the hydrogen bonding, ice Ihshows anomalous reduction in thermal conductivity with increasingpressure (as does cubic ice and low-density amorphous ice). (See e.g.,Andersson et al., Phys. Rev. B vol. 65 pp. 140201.1-14201.4 (2002),which is incorporated herein by reference).

Ice II maintains a general rhombohedral unit shape, similar to ice I.The density of ice II is approximately 1.17 g/cm³. Ice III maintains ageneral tetragonal unit shape, with a density of approximately 1.14g/cm³. Ice VI also maintains a general tetragonal unit shape, with adensity of approximately 1.31 g/cm³. Ice VII is primarily composed ofmultiple intercalating ice Ic lattices, and has a density ofapproximately 1.66 g/cm³.

Examples of materials that are included in one or more compositionsdescribed herein include, but are not limited to, liquid nitrogen, whichis nontoxic and inert, with a freezing point at 1 atm pressure ofapproximately −210° C. Liquid helium is nontoxic and inert, with afreezing point at 367 psi of approximately −272.2° C. Liquid argon isnontoxic and inert with a freezing point at 1 atm pressure ofapproximately −189.4° C. Liquid neon has a freezing point ofapproximately −245.95° C., while liquid xenon has a freezing point ofapproximately −111.9° C. The freezing point of liquid dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) is approximately 18.45° C., and water or other co-solvents candecrease the freezing point. The freezing point of lactated Ringer'ssolution is approximately −45° C. These and other materials can beutilized as described herein either alone, or in combination with othermaterials.

In one embodiment, the frozen particle composition includes a clathrate.Clathrate ice forms from water or other liquids, and contains smallamounts of non-polar molecules (generally gases) under moderate pressureof a few MPa, and temperatures close to 0° C. Clathrate structures canvary, but generally allow a minimum amount of small molecules to fitinto and stabilize gaps without forming covalent or hydrogen bonds withthe hydrogen oxide molecules. Certain clathrates are formed at theinterface of the liquid phase, under atmospheric pressure. Clathratesinclude but are not limited to the structural forms of sI, sII, and sh.In certain instances, noble gases can be used to form clathratecompounds with hydrogen oxide or other molecules. Noble gases generallyhave low polarizability, and tend to be spherically symmetrical, whichallows for solubility with the hydrogen oxide cage. In addition, thesolubility of the noble gases increases considerably as the temperatureis lowered.

The solubility properties of particular noble gases as clathrates withhydrogen oxide are shown in Table IV. (See e.g., Dec et al., J. SolutionChem. vol. 14, pp. 417-429 (1985); Ivanov, et al., J. Struct. Chem. vol.46, pp. 253-263 (2005); Fernandez-Prini, et al., Elsvier, pp. 73-98(2004); Ivanov, et al., Russian J. Gen.

In certaininstances, the device has robotic action. In any of these instances, thedevice can be remotely controlled, for example, by a human, computersystem, or computer program.

In one embodiment, the device includes at least one nozzle, such as aventuri nozzle, de Laval nozzle, or virtual Laval nozzle. See, forexample, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,038,786; 4,707,951; and 5,779,523, each ofwhich is incorporated herein by reference. In one embodiment, the deviceincludes at least one amplifier to increase the flow or passage of theone or more frozen particle compositions through or out of the device.See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,398,820, which is incorporated hereinby reference. In one embodiment, the device includes at least oneinjector, such as an oblique injector, that allows for introduction of afluid (e.g., a gas or liquid) to assist in moving the one or more frozenparticle compositions through or out of the device. (See, for example,U.S. Pat. No. 4,555,872, which is incorporated herein by reference.)

In one embodiment, the one or more frozen particle compositions are madeby freezing all or some of the particular components for thecomposition. Next, the frozen composition is extruded through orificesin a die and are either sliced during extrusion, ground down, orotherwise manipulated to form the frozen particle compositions describedherein.

In one embodiment, administering or delivering the at least one frozenparticle composition includes at least one of accelerating, ejecting, orpropelling the frozen particle composition. In one embodiment, themethod for administering at least one frozen particle compositionincludes at least one of accelerating, ejecting, or propelling thefrozen particle composition toward at least one substrate. In oneembodiment, the at least one frozen particle composition is accelerated,ejected, or propelled to or at a predetermined pressure or velocity fordelivery of the at least one composition to a desired location on or inthe at least one substrate (such as a biological tissue). In certaininstances, the at least one frozen particle composition is accelerated,ejected, or propelled at a particular pressure, angle, or velocity. Incertain instances, the at least one frozen particle composition isaccelerated, ejected, or propelled at a predetermined pressure, angle,or velocity.

The angle, velocity or pressure determined for delivery of the at leastone frozen particle composition depends on certain factors, includingbut not limited to, size and density of the frozen particle composition,content of the frozen particle composition, desired effect or outcome ofadministration of the frozen particle composition, density of the targettissue, density of surrounding tissue, type of tissue, architecture ofthe tissue, and other factors. In certain instances, the desired angle,velocity or pressure for accelerating, ejecting, or propelling the atleast one frozen particle composition described herein will be theminimum angle, velocity or pressure needed to achieve desiredpenetration of the substrate (including a biological tissue) with thefrozen particle composition, whether for surface abrasion, therapeuticdelivery, or other goal.

In addition to the angle and velocity of accelerating, ejecting, orpropelling the at least one composition, other factors affect the depthof penetration of a particular composition, including one or morecharacteristics of the particular composition (e.g., size, shape, orconstitution of the frozen particle composition) or one or morecharacteristics of administration of the particular composition (e.g.,the quantity of frozen particle compositions administered, distancebetween the delivery device and the target substrate).

The means for accelerating, ejecting, or propelling the one or morefrozen particle compositions described herein are non-limiting, and mayinclude general methods for making, formulating, and delivering the oneor more frozen particle compositions. For example, the one or morefrozen particle compositions may be delivered to at least one substrate(such as a biological tissue) by carrier gas under pressure, mechanicalor electrical impulse assistance, centripetal or centrifugal force, orothers, some of which are described herein. (See e.g., U.S. Pat. No.4,945,050 and PCT application WO 92/01802, each of which is incorporatedherein by reference). In certain instances, the one or more frozenparticle compositions are made, propelled, accelerated, or ejectedsimultaneously. Thus, the frozen particle compositions can be made whilepropelled, the frozen particle compositions can be made whileaccelerated, the frozen particle compositions can be made while ejected,or any combination thereof.

In one embodiment, the one or more frozen particle compositions aredelivered or administered by an inkjet printer-type apparatus or device,by a thermal bubble device, by ultrasound-mediated transdermal drugtransport, or by other device. When a voltage is applied, an inkjet-typeapparatus generates a pressure pulse by change in shape or size of achamber containing a fluid (or solid), and the pressure pulse drives thecontents from the chamber. In one particular instance, a high velocitydevice (such as a powderject, air guns, or slingshot type devices) isutilized for injection of particles formulated with at least onetherapeutic agent, for example, for therapy or prevention of a diseaseor condition.

For example, a powderject system, as described by Kumar and Philip(Trop. J. Pharm. Res., vol. 6, No. 1, pp. 633-644 (2007), which isincorporated herein by reference) propels frozen drug particles into theskin by means of high-speed gas flow (such as helium) that is usuallypainless and causes minimal bleeding or damage to the skin. (See alsoe.g., Tang et al., Pharm. Res., vol. 19, pp. 1160-69 (2002), which isincorporated herein by reference). As described by Kumar and Philip,particles contained in a cassette between two polycarbonate membraneslocated at the end of a chamber (Trop. J. Pharm. Res., vol. 6, No. 1,pp. 633-644 (2007), which is incorporated herein by reference). Asdescribed by Kumar and Philip, the polycarbonate membranes are rupturedwhen a carrier gas enters the chamber under high pressure, and the rapidexpansion of the gas forms a shock wave that travels down the nozzle ata speed of approximately 600-900 m/s. Kumar and Philip report drugparticle velocities of up to about 800 m/s at the nozzle exit, and themomentum density of the particles within the gas flow can be optimizedfor desired depth of penetration upon delivery to a biological tissue.(Trop. J. Pharm. Res., vol. 6, No. 1, pp. 633-644 (2007), which isincorporated herein by reference). In the powderject system, particlevelocity is controlled by nozzle geometry, membrane burst strength, andgas pressure. (See e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,630,796; and 5,699,880, whichare incorporated herein by reference).

Metered-dose transdermal sprays may also be used for delivery of atleast one composition as described herein. As described by Rathbone, etal., in one particular example, a topical solution containing a volatilethen nonvolatile vehicle including a therapeutic agent is administeredas a single-phase solution. (See Rathbone, et al., Modified Release ofDrug Delivery Technology, NY, Marcel Dekker, Inc. vol. 126, pp. 471-619(2004), which is incorporated herein by reference). A finitemetered-dose application of the formulation to intact skin results inevaporation of the volatile component, leaving the remaining nonvolatilepenetration enhancer or therapeutic agent to partition into the stratumcorneum and creating a reservoir of the therapeutic agent(s). (SeeRathbone, Ibid; and Kumar, et al., Trop. J. Pharm. Res., vol. 6, pp.633-644 (2007), each of which is incorporated herein by reference).

In addition to these particular examples of devices that can be utilizedfor administration of the compositions described herein, thecompositions can be administered in conjunction with other deliverydevices or avenues. Likewise, the compositions described herein forabrasion of at least one biological tissue can be delivered to the atleast one tissue by any means described herein. Some such means fordelivery of the compositions described herein include, but are notlimited to, ultrasound, iontophoresis (which involves applying anelectrical potential across skin or other tissue in order to increasepenetration of ionizable drugs), diffusion, electroporation,photomechanical waves (such as by producing pulses with Q-switched ormode-locked lasers to the skin or other tissue), needle-free injections,electro-osmosis, artificial vesicles, laser radiation, magnetophoresis(utilizing a diamagnetic substance for use with a magnetic field forincreased penetration of the composition into the biological tissue),microscissuining, controlled heat aided delivery (which involves heatingthe skin prior to or during therapeutic administration), or tattoos andetchings.

In one embodiment, Rathbone et al. have described artificial vesiclesthat mimic cell vesicles (such as TRANSFERSOMES®, from IDEA AG, Germany)can be utilized for administration of one or more composition describedherein. Artificial vesicles penetrate the skin barrier along thetranscutaneous moisture gradient and causes “virtual” pores between thecells in an organ without affecting its biological properties. (See,e.g., Modified Release Drug Delivery Technology, NY, Marcel Dekker,Inc., vol. 126, pp. 471-619 (2004), which is incorporated herein byreference). In addition, liposomes, and niosomes also serve as carriersand can be utilized in administration of at least one compositiondescribed herein.

In one embodiment, the one or more frozen particle compositions aregenerated by spraying a jet or mist of the composition constituents intoa low temperature environment (solid, liquid, gas, or any combinationthereof) such that the compositions freeze and form frozen particles. Inone embodiment, streams of frozen particles are extruded at lowtemperatures through fine ducts and into a low temperature environment.In one embodiment, the one or more frozen particles are propelledthrough a nozzle or other delivery apparatus. In one embodiment, the oneor more frozen particles are delivered by utilizing flash boiling of acold liquid. In one particular example, liquid nitrogen is flash boiledin order to accelerate, eject, or propel one or more frozen particlesfor delivery or administration to at least one cell, tissue, or subject.In one embodiment, the flash boiling is caused or enhanced by one ormore laser pulses (e.g., an infrared laser pulse). In one embodiment,the one or more frozen particles are prepared, delivered, oradministered by another means.

In certain instances, it is desirable to deliver the one or more frozenparticle compositions to at least one cell or tissue, or administer theone or more frozen particle compositions to at least one subject. In atleast one instance, the one or more frozen particle compositions includea plurality of frozen particle compositions that include two or moresubsets of frozen particle compositions that are delivered oradministered in sequential order. In one embodiment, the sequentialorder is predetermined, based on factors relating to, for example, theat least one cell or tissue, the at least one subject, or the at leastone frozen particle composition or therapeutic composition. In oneembodiment, the sequential order is determined during the course ofdelivery or administration of at least one of the one or more frozenparticles or at least one frozen particle composition or therapeuticcomposition. In one embodiment, the sequential order is determined by asoftware program. In one embodiment, the sequential order of delivery israndomized.

For embodiments described herein, those having skill in the art willrecognize that the state of the art has progressed to the point wherethere is little distinction left between hardware, software, and/orfirmware implementations of aspects of systems; the use of hardware,software, and/or firmware is generally (but not always, in that incertain contexts the choice between hardware and software can becomesignificant) a design choice representing cost vs. efficiency tradeoffs.Those having skill in the art will appreciate that there are variousvehicles by which processes and/or systems and/or other technologiesdescribed herein can be effected (e.g., hardware, software, and/orfirmware), and that the preferred vehicle will vary with the context inwhich the processes and/or systems and/or other technologies aredeployed. For example, if an implementer determines that speed andaccuracy are paramount, the implementer may opt for a mainly hardwareand/or firmware vehicle; alternatively, if flexibility is paramount, theimplementer may opt for a mainly software implementation; or, yet againalternatively, the implementer may opt for some combination of hardware,software, and/or firmware. Hence, there are several possible vehicles bywhich the processes and/or devices and/or other technologies describedherein can be effected, none of which is inherently superior to theother in that any vehicle to be utilized is a choice dependent upon thecontext in which the vehicle will be deployed and the specific concerns(e.g., speed, flexibility, or predictability) of the implementer, any ofwhich may vary. Those skilled in the art will recognize that opticalaspects of implementations will typically employ optically-orientedhardware, software, and or firmware.

PROPHETIC EXAMPLES Example 1 Compositions and Methods of Making FrozenParticles

Frozen particle compositions suitable for various embodiments describedherein can be produced by controlling the pressure and temperature ofhydrogen oxide that is introduced as a liquid, gas or frozen. Frozenparticle compositions, including frozen hydrogen oxide ice Ic, areproduced by cooling small hydrogen oxide droplets (˜6 μm diameter) below−38° C. (See e.g., Murray, et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. vol. 8, pp.186-192 (2006), which is incorporated herein by reference). Emulsions of30-40% by weight of distilled and de-ionized hydrogen oxide in paraffinoil (Fisher Scientific) are agitated to produce hydrogen oxide dropletsof mean diameters ranging from 5 to 35 μm as determined by opticalmicroscopy. The droplets are cooled to −100° C. at a rate of 10° C./minby using a cryostat cooled with liquid nitrogen and containing a heaterand temperature controller. Freezing liquid droplets with a mediandiameter of 5.6 μm or smaller can provide approximately 80% frozen iceIc and approximately 20% frozen ice Ih. Following the procedures ofMurray et al, selective production of ice Ic in pellet form producesquantities suitable for use in various embodiments described herein.

Frozen particles generated in this manner are utilized for abrasion ofat least one biological tissue, including but not limited to skin. Thefrozen particle composition is administered to at least one biologicaltissue by, for example, accelerating, ejecting, or propelling the frozenparticles by way of a carrier gas under pressure (e.g., air, carbondioxide, nitrogen) through a tube, or other device directed toward atleast one biological tissue, such as skin. Microdermabrasion,microscissuining, or other surface abrasion techniques are carried outin a similar fashion.

Example 2 Compositions and Methods of Making Frozen Particles

Frozen particles, including frozen hydrogen oxide ice Ic, are producedby depositing hydrogen oxide vapor onto a copper plate held at lowtemperatures in vacuo. Purified (deionized) hydrogen oxide is added to avessel at approximately 25° C. and the hydrogen oxide vapor is condensedonto a metal plate held at approximately −196° C. in vacuo. Thedeposited amorphous ice is heated (at 10° C./min) to approximately −93°C. and is converted to crystalline cubic ice (ice Ic). Ice Ic is stablewhen stored under liquid nitrogen (See e.g., Johari, et al., J. Phys.Chem., vol. 94, pp. 1212-1214 (1990), which is incorporated herein byreference). An example of an apparatus that is used to produce frozenhydrogen oxide ice Ic is described in Hallbrucker et al (J. Phys. Chem.,vol. 93, pp. 4986-4990 (1989), which is incorporated herein byreference).

Example 3 Compositions and Methods of Making Frozen Particles

Frozen hydrogen oxide ice Ic particles are produced from small hydrogenoxide droplets in an example of a “pelletizer” apparatus similar tothose described by, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,617,064; U.S. Pat. No.6,306,119, which are incorporated herein by reference. Frozen hydrogenoxide ice Ic particles are formed by spraying hydrogen oxide droplets ofthe desired size into a cooling chamber filled with a cold inert gasmaintained at the desired temperature, for example, nitrogen gasmaintained at approximately −100° C. to promote formation of ice Ic.Spray droplet size is maintained by variation of nozzle/orifice size andhydrogen oxide pressure to yield droplet diameters ranging fromnanometers to centimeters. Frozen hydrogen oxide ice Ic, ice Ih,amorphous low density ice, amorphous high density ice, and other formsare produced by controlling the temperature and pressure of the coolingchamber. Cubic hydrogen oxide ice Ic particles are formed in a step-wiseprocess, by maintaining the chamber at a very low temperature(approximately −196° C.) with increased pressure, which first promotesformation of amorphous hydrogen oxide ice. Next, the chamber is heatedto approximately −93° C., which results in transformation to cubichydrogen oxide ice (ice Ic) particles.

The hydrogen oxide ice particles are propelled into a delivery system(such as tubing and nozzle) by nitrogen gas under pressure. The deliverysystem is maintained at the appropriate temperature for preservation ofthe hydrogen oxide particle structure, (e.g., approximately −93° C. forice Ic structure).

Example 4 Compositions and Methods of Making Frozen Carbon DioxideParticles

Carbon dioxide frozen particles are produced from small carbon dioxidedroplets in a “pelletizer” similar to those described by, for example,U.S. Pat. No. 4,617,064; and U.S. Pat. No. 6,306,119; each of which isincorporated herein by reference. Carbon dioxide frozen particles areformed by spraying liquid carbon dioxide droplets into a cooling chambermaintained at low temperatures (e.g., approximately −100° C.). Dropletsize is regulated by varying nozzle or orifice size, and pressure.Carbon dioxide droplet diameters range, for example, from nanometers tocentimeters. The frozen carbon dioxide particles are propelled into adelivery system (e.g., tubing and nozzle) by carrier gas, (e.g., air ornitrogen) under pressure. The carbon dioxide particles are maintainedwhile in the delivery system at the appropriate temperature, (e.g.,approximately −100° C.). Frozen carbon dioxide particles sublimate, ortransition to a gas phase, at approximately −78.5° C. and 1 atmpressure.

Example 5 Compositions and Methods of Making Frozen DMSO Particles

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) frozen particles are produced from DMSOdroplets. for example, in a “pelletizer” apparatus similar to thosedescribed by, for example. U.S. Pat. No. 4,617,064; U.S. Pat. No.6,306,119, which are incorporated herein by reference. DMSO frozenparticles are formed from spraying liquid DMSO droplets of the desiredsize into a cooling chamber that is maintained at low temperature, forexample, less than approximately 18.5° C. Droplet size is regulated byvarying nozzle or orifice size, and pressure, with compressed air as acarrier gas. Droplet size can be regulated by varying nozzle or orificesize, and DMSO pressure. DMSO droplet diameters range, for example, fromnanometers to centimeters. The DMSO frozen particles are propelled by acarrier gas (e.g., air or nitrogen) under pressure to enter a deliverysystem (e.g., tubing and nozzle). In order to preserve DMSO particlestructure, the delivery system is maintained at low temperature (e.g.,less than approximately 18.5° C.).

Example 6 Methods of Assessment or Selection of Frozen Particles

According to various embodiments described herein, at least one frozenparticle is made by lowering the temperature of liquid droplets of aselected material. Droplet and particle sizes are measured by imaging aspray or particle stream upon a background screen. The background screenis illuminated with a short pulse of light, for example, from aninfrared laser beam (at approximately 805 nm), which is capable ofpulsing at frequencies of approximately 1000 Hz.

A digital camera captures high resolution images of the droplets orparticles. High-speed, real-time particle sizing software analyses theimages to assess the diameter distribution for the particles and todetermine the shape. The diameter of each droplet is determinedautomatically by referencing the number of dark pixels in the dropletimage to the pixel area of a calibration circle. Droplet diametersbetween approximately 100 μm (±3.2%) and approximately 2000 μm (±0.03%)were measured with 95% confidence (See e.g., Ireland et al., 6thASME-JSME Thermal Engineering Joint Conference (2003), which isincorporated herein by reference). Instruments, computer programs andprotocols for measuring particle and droplet size are available, forexample, from Oxford Lasers, Shirley, Mass. (e.g., world wide web atoxfordlasers.com, which is incorporated herein by reference).

Example 7 Methods of Assessment or Selection of Frozen Particles

According to various embodiments described herein, at least one frozenparticle is made by lowering the temperature of liquid droplets of aselected material. Droplet and particle sizes are measured by laserdiffraction. Laser diffraction based particle size analysis relies onparticles passing through a laser beam and scattering light at an anglethat is directly related to their size. As particle size decreases, theobserved scattering angle increases logarithmically. Scatteringintensity is also dependent on particle size, and decreases withdecreasing particle volume. Thus, large particles scatter light atnarrow angles with high intensity whereas small particles scatter atwider angles but with low intensity. Laser diffraction is used for thenon-destructive analysis of wet or dry samples, to measure particles inthe size range 0.02 to 2000 micrometers (e.g., world wide web atchemie.de/articles/e/61205/, which is incorporated herein by reference).A laser diffraction instrument, protocols and analysis software areavailable, for example, from Malvern Instruments Ltd. (Malvern,Worcestershire, WR14 1XZ United Kingdom).

Example 8 Compositions and Methods of Making Frozen Particles Includinga Reinforcement Agent

One or more reinforcement agents are added to the frozen particlesduring the formation process. Among other things, reinforcement agentscan increase the strength of frozen particles (e.g., increase themodulus of rupture of ice) and decrease the deformation of frozenparticles (e.g., decrease the beam deflection of ice). As indicated inTable A below, glass fibers present at 9% (wt./vol.), for example,increase the modulus of rupture of ice by approximately 7-fold relativeto ice derived from unreinforced hydrogen oxide ice (See e.g., Kingery,Science, vol. 134, pp. 164-168 (1960), which is incorporated herein byreference).

As indicated in FIG. 5, the beam deflection is less than 0.005 inchesfor hydrogen oxide ice that is reinforced with approximately 9.0% glassfibers and increases over time for hydrogen oxide ice that is reinforcedwith approximately 0.8% glass fibers (Kingery, Ibid). Furthermore,hydrogen oxide ice with approximately 9% (w/v) of glass fibers is notdeformed over 23 hours under an applied force of approximately 24.5in·lbs. As described in Kingery, et al, and as indicated in FIG. 5, beamdeflection of hydrogen oxide ice with approximately 0.8% glass fibers isapproximately 0.16 inches after 23 hours under 25.3 in·lbs. of force.Likewise, as indicated in FIG. 5, and according to Kingery et al,hydrogen oxide ice without reinforcement agents is deformedapproximately 0.05 inches after 4 hours under approximately 26.6 in·lbs.of force. Additionally, aluminum and silica carbonate particles can bemixed at various volume fractions and co-milled under an argonatmosphere to produce nanocrystalline composites as reinforcement agentsfor frozen particle compositions. (See e.g., Kamrani, et al., PowderMet. vol. 50, pp. 276-282(7) (2007), which is incorporated herein byreference).

Example 9 Compositions and Methods of Making Frozen Particles

Frozen particles (e.g., carbon dioxide, DMSO, gelatin) are reinforced byincorporating one or more reinforcement agents, including but notlimited to silica beads, fiberglass, polyethylene glycol, kaolin, orwood fibers.

Silica beads approximately 1 micrometer in diameter are mixed withhydrogen oxide at approximately 0° C. to make volume fractions includingthe approximate ranges, but not limited to, 0, 0.004, 0.04, 0.15, 0.29,0.49 and 0.63 volume fraction. The volume fractions, or one or moreparticular volume fraction, are frozen in, for example, a cylindricalmold, at low temperatures (e.g., approximately −10° C.). Unconfinedcoaxial compression tests are used to determine the maximum stress (alsoknown as the failure point) of the one or more frozen particles atdefined temperatures and strain rates (See e.g., Yasui et al, Geophys.Res. Lett., vol. 35, L12206, (2008), which is incorporated herein byreference).

As indicated in FIG. 6, maximum stress. values (MPa) increase formixtures with an increased volume fraction of silica beads relative tothe maximum stress for unreinforced hydrogen oxide ice. (See e.g., Yasuiet al, Ibid.) φ=silica volume fraction

The strength of specific frozen particles is altered by varying thecomposition of frozen particle mixtures containing one or morereinforcement agents. For example, Table B indicates the frozen particlestrength of frozen particles including hydrogen oxide, DMSO, carbondioxide, and gelatin, which contain at least one reinforcement agent. Asindicated, the reinforced frozen particles exhibited increased strengthcompared to their unreinforced counterparts. As indicated in Table B,frozen particles containing at least one reinforcement agent at thevolume fractions shown in the table displayed maximal strength incompression tests. (See also, FIGS. 5 and 6, as well as Table A hereinfor hydrogen oxide frozen particle strength).

Example 10 Vaccine Compositions and Methods of Making Frozen Particles

As described herein, immunization of a subject with a vaccine isaccomplished by way of introduction of the vaccine through, for example,subcutaneous, transcutaneous or intramuscular administration. (See e.g.,Berzofsky et al, Nat. Rev. Immunol. vol. 1, pp. 209-219, (2001), whichis incorporated herein by reference). Non-limiting examples of frozenparticle vaccines are described herein, and include one or moreimmunogens. The immunogen therapeutic compositions are made, forexample, in solution or as a solid in suspension or as a colloid createdfrom, for example, buffered solutions (e.g., phosphate, citrate,lactate, pyruvate or an organic acid buffer) that optimize the stabilityand immunogenicity of the vaccine.

Storage stability of vaccines depends upon many factors, includingvaccine formulation and storage temperature. For example, an influenzasubunit vaccine formulated with trehalose, and Hepes buffered saline, isstable at room temperature for approximately 26 weeks (See e.g., Amorijet al, Pharm. Res. vol. 25, pp. 1256-1273 (2008), which is incorporatedherein by reference).

Vaccines with adjuvants such as: N-acetylmuramyl-l-alanyl-d-isoglutamine, also called muramyl dipeptide (MDP) ormonophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) elicit enhanced cellular and humoralimmunity (See e.g., Aguilar et al Vaccine vol. 25, pp. 3752-62 (2007),which is incorporated herein by reference).

Furthermore, stable genetic transformation and vaccination of intactplant cells has been achievable by particle bombardment processes (Seee.g., Klein et al PNAS vol. 85, pp. 8502-8505 (1988), and Klein et alBioTech vol. 24, pp. 384-386 (1992); each of which is incorporatedherein by reference).

One or more hydrogen oxide frozen particle vaccine compositions,including, for example, one or more buffers, one or more immunogens(e.g., viral protein subunits) and one or more adjuvants, as a solutionor suspension, are made by spraying the compositions through an orificeor nozzle. Each vaccine composition is propelled by a pressurized gas(e.g., compressed air) into a cooling chamber maintained at, forexample, approximately −40° C.

The vaccine composition is delivered to at least one biological tissueof a subject, for example, by propelling the particles via a carrier gasunder pressure (e.g., air, carbon dioxide, nitrogen) through a tubedirected toward at least one biological tissue (including but notlimited to plant callus, plant leaves, plant roots, plant stems,vasculature, lymphatic, lymph node, epidermis, subcutaneous,intramuscular, oral, nasal, pulmonary, intraperitoneal or rectaltissue).

Alternatively, the vaccine composition is delivered to at least onebiological tissue of a subject, for example, by first forming the frozenparticle vaccine compositions through spraying composition droplets intoa cryogen bath (e.g., liquid nitrogen). The frozen particle compositionsare subsequently delivered to at least one biological tissue by flashboiling liquid nitrogen, and propelling the frozen particle compositionsthrough a tube or barrel, for example, to at least one biological tissueof a subject.

Frozen particle vaccine compositions containing one or morereinforcement agents (e.g., silica beads) and of the appropriate sizeand shape (e.g., bullet, spheroid, high aspect ratio shape) penetratethe at least one biological tissue when propelled to high velocity by acarrier gas. In one non-limiting example, a vaccine compositionapproximately 20-70 μm in size penetrates the epidermis when thecomposition is accelerated to high speed with a powder jet injector(PowerJect, PowerJect Pharmaceuticals) (Amorij et al, Ibid.).

Similarly, one group found that using the Bio-Rad HELIOS Gene Gun® andmicroparticle-delivery of pCMV-S DNA vaccination in mice resulted ingreater numbers of animals achieving immunity than those receivingintramuscular injection. (See, e.g., Conn et al, Bio-Rad Tech Note 2726,available on the worldwide web atbio-rad.com/LifeScience/pdf/Bulletin_(—)2726.pdf, accessed Feb. 12,2009, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.)

For plant leaves, a high rate of infection with a Potyviridae virus wasobtained by another group using the Bio-Rad HELIOS Gene Gun® andmicroparticle-delivery of the virus. (See, e.g., Kekarainen andValkonen, Bio-Rad Tech Note 2531, available on the worldwide web atbio-rad.com/LifeScience/pdf/Bulletin_(—)2531.pdf, accessed Feb. 12,2009, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.) Theauthors found optimal infection rates in plant leaves under a heliumpressure of 150 psi or 200 psi, at a distance of 0 cm from the deliverydevice to the tissue. (Id. at page 2).

Example 11 Vaccine Compositions and Methods of Making Frozen Particles

Frozen particle vaccine compositions containing multiple immunogens, forexample, toxoids (chemically modified toxins) from bacteria such asClostridium tetani, Cornybacterium diphtheriae or Bordetella pertussis,stimulate immunity to multiple bacteria or toxins in a single vaccinecomposition.

Alternatively, multiple distinct immunogens, proteins, or peptides thatare derived from a single pathogen are combined in a single frozenparticle vaccine composition that immunizes a subject against apathogenic virus or bacteria that mutates frequently. For example,multiple hemagglutinin or neuraminidase proteins, (e.g., H1N1, H3N2)from different viral strains (e.g., A/New Caledonia/H1N1, orA/Wellington/H3N2) or viral species of influenza (e.g., influenza A orinfluenza B) are combined in a single frozen particle vaccinecomposition and provides immunity to multiple strains or species. (Seee.g., Kamps et al, Influenza Report, pp. 127-149 (2006); world wide webat influenzareport.com/ir/vaccines; each of which is incorporated hereinby reference).

Alternatively, frozen particle vaccine compositions including one ormore immunogens, antigens or proteins (e.g., influenza A/NewCaledonia/(H1N1)) are combined with one or more frozen particle vaccinecompositions containing one or more different antigens (e.g., influenzaB/Shanghai or influenza A/Wellington/(H3N2)). Such a frozen particlevaccine composition combination provides immunity against seasonalvariants of viral pathogens.

In one non-limiting example, combinations of frozen particle vaccinecompositions including specific antigens from selected influenzavariants or strains target a seasonal flu epidemic. (Kamps et al, Ibid.)Combination of frozen particle compositions are made containing one ormore different antigens or epitopes, wherein the one or more differentantigens or epitopes are derived from mutant or variant HIV proteinsthat evolve during HIV infection (See e.g., Berzofsky et al, J. Clin.Inv. vol. 114, pp. 450-462 (2004)). Such combination compositionsimmunize a subject against existing HIV mutants and anticipate theemergence of new HIV mutants or variants.

Alternatively, one or more frozen particle vaccine compositions aredelivered to one or more mucosal tissues (e.g., nasal, oral, rectal,pulmonary) via propulsion using a “pellet gun,” via inhalation, oringestion by a subject. For example, an influenza vaccine lyophilizedand delivered nasally as spherical particles, approximately 26.9 μm(mean diameter), induces mucosal (e.g., nasal IgA response) and systemicimmunity (e.g., serum antibody response) to influenza virus (See e.g.,Garmise et al, AAPS Pharm Sci Tech. vol. 8:E81 (2007); Huang et al,Vaccine. vol. 23(6), pp. 794-801 (2004); each of which is incorporatedherein by reference).

Alternatively, the one or more frozen particle vaccine compositions aredelivered to one or more pulmonary surfaces of the subject viapropulsion by way of a “pellet gun,” by using flash boiled liquidnitrogen as a propellant, or by inhalation. Frozen particle influenzavaccine compositions administered to one or more pulmonary surfaces of asubject elicit mucosal and systemic humoral, as well as cell-mediatedimmune responses to influenza (See e.g., Amorij et al Vaccine. vol. 25,pp. 8707-8717 (2007), which is incorporated herein by reference).

Example 12 Compositions and Methods of Making Frozen Particles

Frozen particle compositions of the appropriate size and shape,including botulinum toxin, an optimal buffer (e.g., Hepes buffer), oneor more stabilizing agents, and one or more reinforcement agents areadministered through the skin of a subject to neuromuscular junctions.Botulinum toxin inhibits acetylcholine release, which blocks synapseformation, and temporarily paralyzes the corresponding musculature.

Frozen particle compositions containing a recommended dose of botulinumtoxin (See e.g., Borodic, U.S. Pat. No. 5,183,462, which is incorporatedherein by reference), and at least one reinforcement agent (e.g.,polymer) are administered to skeletal muscles using a delivery systemderived from inkjet printer technology (See e.g., world wide web aten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkjet Printer) that sprays picoliter quantitiesof the frozen particle compositions at high velocity (e.g., 50 msec)toward the skin of the subject. Botulinum toxin is typicallyadministered by subcutaneous injection (generally with a 26 gaugehypodermic needle). Botulinum toxin is approved by the FDA for therapyof strabismus (crossed-eyes), blepharospasm (uncontrolled blinking), andother facial nerve disorders including hemifacial spasm. It is alsoapproved for treatment of cervical dystonia and glabellar (frown) lines(See e.g., Jankovic, J. Neurol. Neurosurg. Psychiatry vol. 75, pp.951-957 (2004), which is incorporated herein by reference).

In addition, botulinum toxin is included in the treatment of focal orsegmental dystonia (e.g., oromandibular-facial-lingual dystonia,laryngeal dystonia, limb dystonia). Dystonias are neurological disorderswith repetitive and patterned contractions of muscles that causeabnormal movements and postures. For example, cervical dystonia subjectsare injected with, for example, approximately 100 I.U of botulinumtoxin, distributed over 3-5 injection sites, spaced 5-15 mm apart,across the length of the sternomastoid muscle. (Borodic, Ibid.)

Frozen particle compositions containing botulinum toxin are administeredto facial muscles that underlie frown lines, wrinkles, and “crow'sfeet.” For example, botulinum toxin is targeted to: 1) the corrugatorand procerus muscles to treat vertical glabellar eyebrow furrows; 2) tomultiple sites in the frontalis muscle to eliminate horizontal lines inthe forehead; or 3) to the lateral orbicularis oculi to treat crow'sfeet.

Frozen particle compositions containing an optimal dose of botulinumtoxin (e.g., 0.2-0.4 I.U./kg) are administered over the length of aspecific facial muscle (e.g., orbicularis oculi) by use of a deliverysystem with an inkjet nozzle. As described herein, picoliter volumes ofone or more frozen particle compositions are sprayed at a velocity thatachieves a desired or predetermined depth (for example, 5-8 mm; Borodic,Ibid.). The velocity is also altered according to the size, shape, andconstituents of the frozen particle composition.

Example 13 Methods of Administering Frozen Particle TherapeuticCompositions

Frozen hydrogen oxide particles of ice Ic form and at least onetherapeutic agent or at least one diagnostic agent are formulated fortreatment of hematological cancers (e.g., leukemia or lymphoma) or solidtumors (e.g., carcinoma, sarcoma). For example, at least one ofneo-adjuvant therapy, adjuvant therapy, chemotherapy, antibody therapy,or immunotherapy are employed

In one non-limiting embodiment, frozen particle compositions are usedfor adjuvant therapy of cancers treated with surgery such as coloncancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer. At least one frozen particlehydrogen oxide therapeutic composition containing one or morereinforcement agents (e.g., silica beads, Kevlar®), one or more buffers,one or more stabilizing agents (e.g., one or more saccharides), and oneor more cancer therapeutic agents (such as one or more chemotherapydrugs, antibodies, biological agents (e.g., antibodies, cytokines orpeptides), or one or more chemotherapeutic agents) are administered toan area proximal to a region of at least one biological tissue where atumor is present or believed to be present. Optionally, resection of atleast a part of a tumor can be performed, with or without additionaladministration of the at least one frozen particle therapeuticcomposition.

The at least one frozen particle therapeutic composition is administeredin such a manner as described herein, that allows for desired depth ofpenetration of the at least one biological tissue. In one embodiment,the at least one frozen particle therapeutic composition is administeredto a depth that allows for at least one of intracellular orintercellular delivery. For example, the at least one frozen particletherapeutic composition is administered to a depth that allows fordelivery to at least one of epithelium, endothelium, vasculature,lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes or mucosa.

Specifically, if metastasis is present or believed to be present in thesubject, administration of the at least one frozen particle therapeuticcomposition is delivered to such region of metastases ormicro-metastases are believed to be present.

Frozen particle hydrogen oxide therapeutic compositions provided as anadjuvant therapy are administered by spraying at least one compositionunder pressure with a carrier gas through a nozzle designed to uniformlydistribute particles over at least one biological tissue at sufficientvelocity to penetrate the tissue exposed during tumor resection.

Advanced colon cancer (e.g., stage II, III) is treated surgically byremoval of sections of colon containing tumor with margins of “normal”colon tissue and often includes removal of associated lymph nodes andmesentery (colectomy). Standard adjuvant therapy following surgery issystemic administration of a combination of chemotherapy drugs (e.g.,5-fluorouracil, leucovorin or oxaliplatin (FOLFOX)), (See e.g., Wolpinet al, CA Cancer J. Clin. vol. 57, pp. 168-185 (2007)). Systemic FOLFOXadjuvant therapy is associated with significant toxicities includinggastrointestinal toxicity, neutropenia and neurotoxicity (Wolpin et al,Ibid.). Localized in situ delivery of FOLFOX by administration of frozenparticle therapeutic compositions permits delivery of a lower dose.

Administration of at least one frozen particle hydrogen oxidetherapeutic composition containing at least one therapeutic antibodyincludes, for example, bevacizumab (an anti-vascular endothelial growthfactor) or cetuximab (an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor).Bevacizumab and cetuximab both target the tumor-associated vasculatureand tumor cells in the remaining colon sections and the surroundingtissues, mesentery and lymph nodes. Localized administration oftherapeutic antibodies provides sustained protection from recurrence ofcolon tumors at the site of tumor resection and in the surroundingtissues. (Wolpin et al, Ibid.). Following surgery and adjuvant therapywith one or more frozen particle hydrogen oxide therapeuticcompositions, including at least one of one or more chemotherapy drugs,or one or more antibodies, the remaining colon sections are splicedtogether (i.e. anastomosis) or an artificial orifice (i.e. stoma) isinserted to restore a functional colon.

Example 14 Methods of Administering Frozen Particle TherapeuticCompositions

Frozen particle hydrogen oxide therapeutic compositions including one ormore cancer therapeutics or one or more cancer diagnostics are used totreat cancers in distal locations from the primary tumor or initialtumor site treated with surgery or radiation. For example, colon cancercells often metastasize to the liver ((Wolpin et al, Ibid.). At the timeof surgical resection of colon cancer tumors, one or more frozenparticle hydrogen oxide therapeutic compositions including at least onecancer therapeutic, such as one or more cytotoxic drugs (e.g.,fluouracil), antibodies (e.g., cetuximab), radioisotopes conjugated toantibodies (e.g., ¹³¹I-cetuximab), or one or more mixtures of at leastone cytotoxic drug and at least one biological-based therapeutic agentare administered to the liver and surrounding tissues.

Administration of the at least one frozen particle hydrogen oxidetherapeutic composition is accomplished by traditional surgery orlaparoscopic surgery that allows access to the liver (or other organs tobe treated). Administration of at least one frozen particle hydrogenoxide therapeutic composition directly to the liver and the surroundingvasculature allows for intracellular or intercellular penetration andrelease of at least one anti-cancer therapeutic for treatment of anyexisting or suspected colon cancer mestastases or micro-metastases.

As described herein, the at least one frozen particle hydrogen oxidetherapeutic composition including one or more cancer therapeutics areadministered by way of a spraying device. Such a spraying deviceincludes an insulated tube and nozzle, as well as a valve that controlsthe flow of particles. In the case of traditional surgery for tumor ortissue resection, the at least one frozen particle hydrogen oxidetherapeutic composition is sprayed directly onto the target tissue ortissues. Whereas in the case of laparoscopic surgery for tumor or tissueresection, the at least one frozen particle hydrogen oxide therapeuticcomposition is sprayed through a trocar (a hollow tube approximately 10millimeters in diameter).

In certain spraying devices, the at least one frozen particle hydrogenoxide therapeutic composition is administered by way of a carrier gas.The depth of penetration by the at least one therapeutic composition iscontrolled by regulating the carrier gas pressure as well as theconsequent particle velocity. The at least one therapeutic compositionoptionally includes one or more tracer agents or is deliveredsimultaneously with one or more tracer agents. Some non-limitingexamples of tracer agents include dyes, stains or fluorescent compoundsthat mark the tissue area sprayed. The one or more tracer agents canoptionally monitor or provide feedback as to the quantity or quality (inthe case of multiple therapeutic compositions administeredsimultaneously or over time) of the at least one therapeutic compositionadministered to a specific site.

In one embodiment, the at least one frozen particle hydrogen oxidetherapeutic composition including at least one cancer therapeuticfurther includes hematoxylin and eosin stains mixed at a known ratio(e.g., 1:10). Alternatively, a batch of the at least one frozen particlehydrogen oxide therapeutic composition is administered in a mixture orin separate applications frozen particles including hematoxylin andeosin stains. Staining of tissues is visualized by inspection with a lowpower microscope (e.g., dissection microscope) or with a laparoscope,which allows for assessment of the relative quantity or quality of theat least one therapeutic composition administered to the tissue.Staining of the tissues further provides a guide as to the region thatreceived the at least one therapeutic composition.

Example 15 Methods of Administering Frozen Particle TherapeuticCompositions

Frozen particle hydrogen oxide therapeutic compositions including carbondioxide and at least one cancer therapeutic are administered to at leastone tumor or tissue suspected of being cancerous. Upon administration,the frozen particle hydrogen oxide therapeutic compositions penetrateone or more tumor cells, warm to ambient temperature, and undergo rapidsublimation and gaseous expansion of the carbon dioxide. This rapidreaction produces a small explosion that destroys at least one tumorcell as well as one or more adjacent cells. In addition, administrationof the frozen particle therapeutic compositions at low temperatures(e.g., lower than approximately −78.5° C., which is the approximatesublimation temperature for carbon dioxide at 1 atm pressure), freezescells and tissues, causing tumor cell death (See e.g., Vergnon et al,Eur. Respir. J. vol. 28 pp. 200-218 (2006); incorporated herein byreference).

Alternatively, carbon dioxide gas is entrapped in frozen particles byplacing the liquid phase (e.g., hydrogen oxide) under high pressure inthe presence of carbon dioxide gas. (See e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,289,794;4,289,790; 4,262,029; 5,439,698, each of which is incorporated herein byreference). Administration of the at least one therapeutic compositionis conducted as described herein. In one embodiment, the use of a tubeand nozzle is used that sprays the frozen particle therapeuticcompositions under pressure in a carrier gas (e.g., carbon dioxide,nitrogen). Administration of the at least one therapeutic composition iscarried out as an adjuvant therapy in conjunction with tumor resection,or as an alternative when tumor resection is not favored. For examplelung cancer tumors are generally inoperable when such tumors areadjacent to airways, or infiltrate central airways including thetrachea, main stem bronchi or multiple lung lobes. Additionally,subjects with compromised respiration (e.g., those with lung disease,heart disease or advanced age) are generally not candidates for surgery(See e.g., Spiro et al, Amer. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med., vol. 172, pp.523-529 (2005); which is incorporated herein by reference).

Carbon dioxide frozen particle therapeutic compositions including one ormore chemotherapeutic drugs (e.g., cisplatin, docetaxel, vinorelbine),targeted drugs (e.g., gefitnib, erlotnib), or biological-based agents(e.g., cetuximab, panitumumab, bevacizumab) are administered directlyonto lung cancer tumors. Administration is conducted via endoluminalbronchoscopy or by video-assisted thoracoscopy by means of an insulatedtube and nozzle integral to the endoscopic device. Frozen particlecomposition velocities and spray rate are controlled by a valve betweenthe spray head and the cooling chamber of the “pelletizer.” (See e.g.,U.S. Pat. No. 6,306,119, or 6,764,493, each of which is incorporatedherein by reference). Precise localization and administration of thefrozen particle therapeutic compositions are accomplished bybronchoscopy and endoscopy with fluoroscopy used to mark the field(s) ofinterest.

Methods for endoscopic targeting of tumors are described, for example,in Huber et al (Chest vol. 107, pp. 463-470 (1995); which isincorporated herein by reference). Moreover, computed tomography,magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography or othertechniques are used to locate lung cancer tumors.

Frozen particle therapeutic composition administration by usingendoscopic procedures or as an adjuvant therapy in conjunction withtraditional surgery is used for various regions of existing or potentialcarcinogenesis, including mediastinal lymph nodes, vasculature, chestwall and other thoracic sites.

Alternatively, frozen particle therapeutic compositions are deliveredduring traditional surgery for lung cancer and used to treat inoperabletumors remaining following lobectomy, wedge resection, andpneumonectomy, as well as to treat margins of lobe, wedge or lungexcisions to reduce recurrence of lung cancer (See e.g., theworldwideweb at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_cancer#Surgery; which isincorporated herein by reference). Without wishing to be bound by anyparticular theory, frozen particle carbon dioxide therapeuticcompositions maintained at approximately −80° C. while administered totumors rapidly freeze the tumor cells leading to formation of icecrystals in tumor cells that destroy cell organelles (e.g.,mitochondria) leading to death of the tumor cells. (Vergnon et al,Ibid.)

Similarly, frozen particle therapeutic compositions containing at leastone radioactive element deliver radiation to lung cancer tumor cells.One non-limiting example utilizes frozen particle therapeuticcompositions including ¹⁹²Iridium for irradiating lung tumors thatobstruct major airways. Administration of the frozen particletherapeutic compositions is conducted using an endoscope and a wire toplace the radioactive compositions in at least one lung tumor. Withoutwishing to be bound to any theory, tumor cell irradiation results insingle-stranded DNA breaks that induce apoptosis and reduce rates ofcell division (Vergnon et, Ibid.).

Example 16 Compartmentalized Frozen Particle Therapeutic Compositions

Frozen particles formed in a bullet-shaped mold with hollow cores orcavities that can be filled with therapeutics are useful for deliveringat least one therapeutic agent to a variety of specific tissues, cellsand organ or body locations. Hollow bullet-shaped frozen particles canbe filled with a therapeutic agent such as one or more of an antibody,cytokine, DNA, small interfering RNA, microRNA, aptamer, cytotoxic agent(e.g. a xenobiotic, synthetic, or radioactive agent) that are in aqueoussolution (e.g. sodium phosphate buffer) or form a suspension.Alternatively, hollow frozen bullets can be filled with one or moreliquid or solid polymers or nanoparticles that contain at least onetherapeutic agent (e.g. at least one prodrug) that requires activation.

In one particular embodiment, at least one therapeutic agent is frozenin carbon dioxide. The frozen carbon dioxide/therapeutic agent mixtureor solution is used to fill pre-formed hollow bullet-shaped frozenparticles. In certain embodiments, the hollow bullet-shaped frozenparticles are formed and filled simultaneously. The temperature andpressure of the frozen particles are adjusted according to theparticular constituents and specific parameters of the desired frozenparticle.

Administration of at least one compartmentalized therapeutic frozenparticle composition with a spraying device allows for localizeddelivery of at least one therapeutic agent to specific cells or tissues,such as one or more tumors. In certain embodiments, administration of atleast one compartmentalized therapeutic frozen particle composition isdirected to one or more adjacent, metastatic, or affected tissuesincluding lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, blood vessels, and organs(e.g. liver, lung, and kidney).

The size, shape or delivery velocity of the at least onecompartmentalized frozen particle composition can be controlled in orderto deliver the at least one particle composition to a desired locationor penetration depth. In certain embodiments, the compartmentalizedfrozen particle composition includes at least one therapeutic agent(e.g. a cytotoxic agent) that is delivered intracellularly,intercellularly, or into the lumen of vasculature, lymphatics, alveoli,bladder, intestine, lungs or into a specific tissue (e.g. endoderm,smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, prostate).

In one example, hollow bullet-shaped frozen particle compositionscontaining a prodrug, such as capecitabine, can be deliveredintracellularly to tumor cells (e.g. colon carcinoma) where capecitabineis metabolized to 5-fluorouracil, an active cytotoxic agent.Administration of at least one frozen particle composition includingcapecitabine specifically to tumor cells and optionally to proximaltissues allows for the potential to increase the therapeutic dose totumor cells, while reducing systemic exposure (which can lead totoxicity and side effects, including angina and myocardial infarction,diarrhea, nausea, neutropenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia).

Alternatively, in one embodiment, intracellular delivery of at least onefrozen particle composition including capecitabine that is encapsulatedin biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles, releases capecitabine in apH-dependent manner. (See for example, Shenoy et al, Pharm. Res. vol.22, pp. 2107-2114 (2005), which is incorporated herein by reference).Since tumor cells generally have a lower pH than non-tumor cells, thecapecitabine is released in higher amounts in the tumor environment.

Alternatively, in one embodiment, at least one frozen particle includescapecitabine and one or more polymeric nanoparticles composed of atleast poly(∈-caplactone) (PCL), a non-pH sensitive polymer that is ableto release capecitabine as the frozen particle melts or sublimates.(See, for example, Shenoy et al, Ibid.).

Example 17 Compartmentalized Frozen Particle Therapeutic CompositionsIncluding Reinforcement Agents for Transdermal Administration

Frozen particle compositions that include at least one therapeutic agentin one or more distinct regions of the particles are useful fortransdermal administration of at least one therapeutic to various layersof the skin or to underlying tissues, organs and structures. Forexample, treatment of certain skin disorders, such as psoriasis, iscurrently limited to topical administration of a therapeutic agent (e.g.coal tar, corticosteroids, vitamin D₃ analogs, or retinoids), systemictreatments (e.g. methotrexate, cyclosporin and retinoids), or UVirradiation (e.g. phototherapy) (See, for example,en.wikipedia/wiki/psoriasis2008, which is incorporated herein byreference). None of these current treatments are fully effective.

In one embodiment, at least one frozen particle composition includingone or more psoriasis therapeutic agents located in one or moregradation layers of concentration, or as a coating on the particle isadministered to the epidermis, dermis or hypodermis layer by controllingspecific parameters, such as particle hardness, size, shape,reinforcement agent, or velocity. For example, frozen particlecompositions including reinforced hydrogen oxide are propelled toward atleast one biological tissue by “flash-boiling” liquid nitrogen to createnitrogen gas and propel the particle compositions by explosive force.The frozen particle compositions are reinforced with plant matter (suchas silk fibers, or collagen fibers), or spun metallic fibers (such astungsten, iron, manganese, carbon, titanium, or steel). The one or morefrozen particle compositions are directed with a hose and nozzle deviceonto psoriatic skin. In addition, the frozen therapeutic particlecompositions can be delivered to the dermis to further impact anypathogenic T cells or cytokines associated with the condition.

Thefrozen particles are administered alone or in conjunction with surgicalstaples or sutures.

In an embodiment, one or more frozen particles including thrombin (e.g.,activated thrombin) or fibrinogen are administered. As described inother sections herein, thrombin and fibrinogen can be included as partof a single frozen particle (including, for example, provided incompartments of a single frozen particle), a single set of frozenparticles, or separately as part of different frozen particles ordifferent sets of frozen particles.

In addition or instead of thesegrowth factors, one or more frozen particles include one or more ofcollagen, hyaluronic acid, glycosaminoglycans, or other extracellularmatrix components, at least one of which is encapsulated in a PCLpolymer. (See, for example, Boateng et al., Ibid, which is incorporatedherein by reference.)

For example, joint restructuring or replacement is a common surgicalprocedure for joints such as knee or hip joints. Knee replacementsurgery is performed as a partial or total knee joint replacement.Standard knee replacement generally includes replacing or supplementingdiseased or damaged joint surfaces with bone grafts (e.g., autologous orcadaveric bone grafts) or synthetic materials (e.g., metal, plastic, orrubber substrates).

Optionally, computer systems are used to model the bone defect, based onimaging studies (e.g., x-ray, computed tomography (CT), or otherimaging). Among other things, imaging the bone or other tissue (e.g.,cartilage), allows for assessment of the defect, or analysis of thepresent joint structure, allows for assistance in designing repair orreplacement of the joint, and provides guidance for delivery of thefrozen particle compositions. In certain instances, the frozen particlecompositions are delivered by way of a piezoelectric or inkjet printerdevice that is directly or indirectly under the control of a computersystem.

In an embodiment, a CT scan is used to develop a three-dimensional imageof the joint to be reconstructed. For a knee joint, for example, regionsfrom the distal femur and proximal tibia, including synovial andcartilage, can be imaged for assessment. Computer systems and methodsfor designing and repairing the joint(s) can also be used for comparingthe present state of the subject's joint with that of a healthyindividual. Thus, the repair may include reconstructing or restructuringthe joint according to healthy or undamaged joints.

Incertain instances, the substrate includes an artificial knee joint or acadaveric knee joint.

In the case where the subject's joint is ablated or debrided, one ormore frozen particle compositions are administered to the subject'sjoint (optionally with assistance of a computer system). The ablation ordebridement may be performed before, during, or subsequent to theadministration of one or more frozen particle compositions related tostabilizing the joint or reconstructing the joint. For example, frozenparticle compositions including reinforcement agents (e.g., silicabeads, fiberglass, polyethylene glycol) are propelled toward thesubject's knee joint at or to a predetermined velocity that allows fordelivery of the compositions into the various layers of the joint (i.e.,skin, subcutaneous layers, synovial membrane, etc.).

In an embodiment, an arthroscopic device is utilized for delivery of oneor more frozen particle compositions to the knee joint. A computersystem can assist a surgeon in ablating or debriding the cartilageand/or bone to the proper depth by delivering the frozen particlecompositions at a predetermined or preselected set of parameters. Thepredetermined or preselected parameters include, but are not limited to,size of frozen particle compositions, shape of frozen particlecompositions, constitution of frozen particle compositions, velocity atwhich frozen particle compositions are delivered, angle at which frozenparticle compositions are delivered, timing for delivery of specificfrozen particle compositions, or programs for cycling any one or moreparameters.

See, e.g., Hou et al,Ibid.

Optionally, one or more frozen particle compositions including one ormore growth factors that are capable, for example, of promoting cellgrowth and/or cell differentiation are administered in reconstructingthe knee joint. For example, bone morphogenic proteins, fibroblastgrowth factors, vascular endothelial growth factors, or other factorsare encapsulated in polymer particles (e.g., vesicles) that form atleast part of a scaffold to support reconstruction of the joint. See,e.g., Davies et al., Ibid. In an embodiment, one or more growth factorssupport the infiltration or growth of osteocytes, chondrocytes, orvascular cells.

One or more frozen particle compositions containing anti-α_(v)β₃,anti-CD3, or cytotoxic T cells bind to melanoma cells directly orindirectly following binding to tumor neovasculature endothelium andextravasation. See, for example, Mahabeleshwar et al., Ibid. In oneembodiment, the one or more frozen particle compositions areadministered in multiple dimensions (e.g., x, y, z coordinates) tomelanoma cells, neovasculature, and adjacent tissues (which may or maynot be malignant). In one embodiment, primary tumor cells, metastatictumor cells, neovasculature, and adjacent lymphatic ducts and lymphnodes are targeted. One or more frozen particle compositions deliveredto the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layers of a subject targetmelanoma cells in radial, vertical, and metastatic modes of growth. See,for example, Mahabeleshwar et al, Ibid.

In one embodiment, administration of the one or more frozen particlecompositions in three dimensions is conducted with a computer-guidedspraying device. The computer-guided device uses one or more computersystems, or one or more computer programs to derive or obtain data topredict or generate one or more frozen particle compositions based onspecific characteristics. For example, the one or more frozen particlecompositions are predicted or generated based on particle hardness,shape, size, constituency, or other factors. The one or more frozenparticle composition administration is predicted or generated based onnumber of frozen particle compositions administered for any particularround of delivery, the velocity of delivery, the angle of delivery, thenumber of rounds of delivery of the same or different frozen particlecompositions, the type of tissue receiving the frozen particlecompositions, the condition of the tissue receiving the frozen particlecompositions, and other factors. In this manner, the one or more frozenparticle compositions are administered to a particular target tissue,and to a particular desired depth or breadth.

Example 26 Compositions and Methods of Administering Frozen ParticlesIncluding One or More Biological Adhesive Agents to Melanoma Cells

One or more frozen particle compositions including one or morebiological adhesive agents capable of specifically binding melanomatumor cell surface receptors, including at least one receptor capable ofsignaling or initiating apoptosis are administered to melanoma cell's.For example, at least one biological adhesive agent including at leastone bispecific protein that recognizes melanoma tumor cell antigens(e.g., MAGE), as well as a pro-apoptotic cell surface receptor (e.g.,death receptor 5 (DR5)) is delivered to melanoma cells for induction ofapoptosis.

In one embodiment, binding of DR5 by an agonistic monoclonal antibody orapoptosis ligand 2/TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (e.g.,Apo2L/TRAIL) initiates signaling that leads to apoptotic death of thetumor cell. See, for example, Ashkenazi, Nat. Rev. Drug Discov., vol. 7,pp. 1001-1012 (2008). Some examples of agonistic antibodies that arecapable of inducing apoptosis on tumor cells include, but are notlimited to, mapatumumab and lexatumumab (Human Genome Sciences, Inc.,Rockville, Md.; HGS), Apomab (Genentech Inc., South San Francisco,Calif.), AMG655 (Amgen, Inc., Thousand Oaks, Calif.), CS-1008 (DaiichiSankyo Co., Ltd., Tokyo), and LBY-135 (Novartis Int'l AG, Basel).

In one embodiment, a bispecific protein including anti-MAGE bindingdomains (e.g., single chain Fv (SCFv)) and at least one agonisticanti-DR5 binding domain (e.g., SCFv from Apomab; Ashkenazi, Ibid) isadministered in one or more frozen particle compositions directly tomelanoma cells, or delivered to subcutaneous layers surround themelanoma cells.

In one embodiment, in addition to targeting primary tumor cells, tissueknown to be metastatic, or suspected to be metastatic due to theepidemiology of the disease, are targeted. For example, melanoma isknown to metastasize to the brain. In one embodiment, the brain receivesone or more frozen particles alone or in combination with surgery (e.g.,craniotomy), based on imaging studies done with computer-assistedtomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Frozen particle compositionsincluding pro-apoptotic agonists or anti-MAGE binding proteins are usedas adjuvant therapy following surgery (e.g., open surgery, stereotacticsurgery, or stereotactic radiosurgery to remove or destroy melanomametastatic cells.

In one embodiment, minimally invasive computer assisted surgery is usedto remove tumor cells and tumor tissue, followed by administration ofone or more frozen particle compositions as adjuvant therapy. Forexample, computer-aided surgery (CAS) is used with stereotactic surgerysystems to target tumor cells that have infiltrated essential and/orhighly vascularized brain tissues that are considered inaccessible orinoperable by standard methods.

While particular aspects of the present subject matter described hereinhave been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled inthe art that, based upon the teachings herein, changes and modificationscan be made without departing from the subject matter described hereinand its broader aspects and, therefore, the appended claims are toencompass within their scope all such changes and modifications as arewithin the true spirit and scope of the subject matter described herein.It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, termsused herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of theappended claims) are generally intended as “open” terms (e.g., the term“including” should be interpreted as “including but not limited to,” theterm “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term“includes” should be interpreted as “includes but is not limited to,”etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if aspecific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such anintent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence ofsuch recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid tounderstanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of theintroductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce claimrecitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed toimply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinitearticles “a” or “an” limits any particular claim containing suchintroduced claim recitation to claims containing only one suchrecitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases“one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or“an” (e.g., “a” and/or “an” should typically be interpreted to mean “atleast one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use ofdefinite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, evenif a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitlyrecited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitationshould typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number(e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without othermodifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or morerecitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a conventionanalogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” is used, in generalsuch a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the artwould understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one ofA, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have Aalone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and Ctogether, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances where aconvention analogous to “at least one of A, B, or C, etc.” is used, ingeneral such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill inthe art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at leastone of A, B, or C” would include but not be limited to systems that haveA alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and Ctogether, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be furtherunderstood by those within the art that typically a disjunctive wordand/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in thedescription, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplatethe possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, orboth terms unless context dictates otherwise. For example, the phrase “Aor B” will be typically understood to include the possibilities of “A”or “B” or “A and B.”

With respect to the appended claims, those skilled in the art willappreciate that recited operations therein may generally be performed inany order. Also, although various operational flows are presented in asequence(s), it should be understood that the various operations can beperformed in other orders than those which are illustrated, or can beperformed concurrently. Examples of such alternate orderings may includeoverlapping, interleaved, interrupted, reordered, incremental,preparatory, supplemental, simultaneous, reverse, or other variantorderings, unless context dictates otherwise. Furthermore, terms like“responsive to,” “related to,” or other past-tense adjectives aregenerally not intended to exclude such variants, unless context dictatesotherwise.
